Trong những năm gần đây độ che phủ rừng của Việt Nam đã mở rộng nhanh chóng, với một sự gia tăng đáng kể diện tích trồng các loài ngoại lai keo, bạch đàn và Pinus. Sự mở rộng này cung cấp cơ hội tuyệt vời cho các thị trường xuất khẩu quốc tế mới cho các sản phẩm gỗ. Tuy nhiên nó cũng đại diện cho những rủi ro mới và gia tăng từ các loài gây hại lâm nghiệp và các bệnh, trong trường hợp bùng phát dịch có thể có hậu quả thảm khốc về việc thành. | 1.

Introduction In recent years Vietnam s forest coverage has undergone rapid expansion with a marked increase in plantings of exotic species of Eucalyptus Acacia and Pinus. This expansion provides excellent opportunities for new international export markets for timber products. However it also represents new and increased risks from forestry pests and diseases which in outbreak circumstances can have catastrophic consequences on plantation establishment and productivity. These risks come from pest and disease species already established in Vietnam and exotic species not yet present in the country. This CARD project aims to improve the capacity of Vietnam s Forest Health workers to undertake surveillance for pests and diseases and to identify those detected. Good surveillance and early detection are critical to improve management outcomes for pest and disease outbreaks identify and respond to exotic incursions and produce pest lists to meet international export requirements. 5. Project objectives To establish a forest pest and disease database and reference collection. To provide training on forest health surveillance damage assessment pest risk analysis collection preservation identification and curation and to increase awareness and understanding of forest health surveillance among stakeholders.
